Hawk Podcasts

by Hawk

He's raw, unfiltered, unedited, authentic, vulnerable and sometimes annoying. His laugh is infectious, and he often engages in long periods of awkward silence. He will tell it like it is, and whether you’re on the left or the right he’s bound to make you uncomfortable at some point. But he will definitely make you think. A licensed, practicing trial attorney for the last 25 years, he brings his legal experience and knowledge to the news of the day and current events here at home to offer different perspectives and additional things to consider.

I listen to a ton of political podcasts, including Pod Save America and The Bulwark, and I would put this one right up there with them, except this one also makes me laugh. Hawk is so funny.
